Description

From a discussion in the newsgroup I would like to request a feature. That
feature would be to change the way Tapestry embeds its tags from:

<span jwcid="insertStuff">this gets replaced</span>

To (something like this):

<span tap:jwcid="insertStuff">this gets replaced</span>

This allows for several things to happen. The first is that Tapestry now
create XHMTL compliant templates at EDIT time so that developers and HTML
coders can validate the XHTML. The second is more nebulous. But I believe the
change to using a namespace would allow Tapestry more flexibility as future
HTML changes come down the pipe to ensure Tapestry meets those specifications.

Howard: What we really want is the ability to control the exact id, so that people can use 'id' (if they like), or
use whatever namespace is convienient for them.
